Hey guys,

I haven't been here for a while and will probably stay quiet for a little more as life with new baby is so different than being a single. I'm passing some nice cars on the way to and from work but don't even have time to take photos plus my camera being not the best lately and I droped it while being in zoo few weeks ago and steady something not working... showing me error but already looking to buy new camera and looking to back on car spotting scene early 2018 (maybe march)

But thats not reason I post here. I saw few pages back someone spot green Aston Martin Vanuish S on 171-D reg. I remember this car was on display at Charles Hurst in Belfast and it was going some of their events. I mailed them and asked if it would be possible to know when this car be on display on some of their events but no answer so I decide to ask yous if anyone of you know the owner or know how to contact him/her. I fall in love with this car when I saw photos of it first and I'd really like to ask owner for a chance of photosession with this car.

So if anyone of you know anything about this car or owner could you please send me a pm? I'd really appreciate any help.

Hey, I was the OP who followed it on the Dublin / Cork road & took the photo. I've seen it a couple of times since on the same road around the same time - 4pm ish. Last time he was pulling off at the Cashel junction if that helps at all - may be worth asking in the Tipp forum

I got some info about car and owner on pm but still really hard to find any contact details or i don't know where to look for them and i don't want to go and knock someone door to ask about car, think it would be weird and i'll be told to **** off. Easiest for me be email address but looks like i can only wish for photosession with that car.

Lexus LC in work carpark today. Good looking car I must say.



The paint finish is stunning when your up close.

Guy next door to me has a 171 civic type r. Met him the other day, he brought it some place in the uk to be tuned to 400hp, not sure how realistic this is but it must be. A quick car either way

I often wonder why nobody hijacks a truck load of cars, even with basic family cars there could be €300k worth of cars on it, all with the keys and brand new.

Too risky. You'll have to have a hiding spot big enough for an artic and get there in a short space of time while making sure there's no trackers still active. Then you have to go through the trouble of smuggling them back out of the country

Would the cars have trackers?

And outrun an i30 if you get chased.

The truck more than likely would. Fleet tracker kind of thing at the least.

Wow I'm amazed.
Never knew they had a speed limiter attached.

A lot of cars don't.

Saw a Mustang today, not just any Mustang but a proper Full Fat, 5.0 litre GT V8 model .. out in the wild, in Ireland.

I have seen a few Mustangs out on the road but all have been the 2.3 version. I nearly spat out my coffee when I saw the 5.0 badge on the side.

Excuse the śh picture, but hey, its better than no picture!

You'd have to have the equipment and hook up to PDI them all as well otherwise they'll be stuck to like 10km/h

Any pre PDI cars I used to drive never had speed limiters attached?

omg - is that the new model Phantom or a silver cloud ?

McCrack

Either way a horrible looking yoke

The older Rolls or Bentleys had class

goochy

you are right about older cars and don't like it in black but the Phantom is the one car from the new breed of German Rolls and Bentleys I like. Has a lot of presence and gets the Rolls feel just right

It's fooking obnoxious - maybe that's why you like it!

New Phantom. Impressive looking thing.

finding a car lover who doesn't admire the Phantom would be a hard job - whether u like it or not they are like nothing else on the road.

I'm not really an Audi head but that looks brilliant. Some of the newer Audis such as the A7 look fantastic in those deep blues. I think its called sepang blue, then again I'm a sucker for a blue car anyway!
